question 1 of 6
a positive return on investment for education happens
when__________.
select a response.
○ your earnings are higher than the cost of your education
○ you calculate earnings after working for one year after college
○ you attend a public university and do not take out loans
○ you use federal student loans to attend a private college

Explanation:

To determine a positive return on investment (ROI) for education, we analyze the concept of ROI: it occurs when the benefits (earnings from education - related career) exceed the costs (tuition, fees, time, etc.).

• Option 1: "your earnings are higher than the cost of your education" aligns with ROI logic (benefits > costs).
• Option 2: Calculating earnings after one year is not a measure of ROI (ROI considers long - term vs. cost, not just a one - year window).
• Option 3: Attending a public university without loans does not guarantee earnings exceed costs (e.g., low - paying job after).
• Option 4: Using federal loans for a private college does not ensure earnings > total cost (private college can be expensive, and loan repayment adds to cost).

Answer:

A. your earnings are higher than the cost of your education
